Of all of the crazy logos a Republican presidential candidate could have—a French flag… really?
I’ve got nothing against the French. For all the guff us Americans send their way they’ve done a lot for us—the statue of Liberty, helping us win the Revolutionary war, and great wine. But, from the party who had many members that not so long ago pushed for “freedom fries”, this is hilarious.
Design Lesson: Don’t overlook the obvious.
There is a tall tale that Chevy wanted to expand their car line into the South American market they decided to keep the Chevy Nova without changing the name. If one person on their team had even a little Spanish they would have realized the No Va literally means Doesn’t Go.
Whenever you design something that’s going to be seen by a lot of folks, it’s important to take a step back and ask yourself “What is the worst way someone could interpret this?”—especially with something that will be examined as closely as a presidential race.
Bachman too?
And while we’re at it. Michele Bachman has an Austrian flag… I’m just saying.
If you think this is funny, please feel free to RT of share.
